[Bug]: Android: canRequestPermission() says true when it should say false

[terreng]

What happened?

Sometimes, when canRequestPermission() resolves to true, a subsequent call to requestPermission() fails to show a prompt. This is to say that sometimes canRequestPermission() says true when it should really say false.

Steps to reproduce?

1. Call `requestPermission()` a few times and keep declining the permission until it stops showing a prompt.
2. Call `canRequestPermission()` and observe that it resolves to `true`, which is wrong.

What did you expect to happen?

canRequestPermission() resolving to true should imply that a following call to requestPermission() will show a prompt.

Hi @terreng,

Thank you for reporting. I was able to reproduce there is some inconsistency with canRequestPermission.

We will investigate how to resolve this issue.
